After an early run of collecting new transfer commitments on the defensive side of the ball, Mississippi State added its first offensive player from the portal on Friday.

Former Oklahoma transfer receiver Brenen Thompson officially signed with the Bulldogs on Friday per a report from On3’s Pete Nakos. Thompson began his college career at Texas before spending the past two seasons with the Sooners.

This past season the former On3 four-star prospect totaled 19 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns. In the past two seasons the Spearman, Texas, native combined for 23 catches for 503 yards and four touchdowns. The 5-foot-9 and 165-pound Thompson is expected to play outside receiver for the Bulldogs and has one season of remaining eligibility.

So far this offseason, Mississippi State has lost two of its top receivers to the transfer portal in rising senior Kevin Coleman and rising sophomore Mario Craver. The Bulldogs must also replace receiver Kelly Akharaiyi, a former UTEP receiver that is out of eligibility.

Mississippi State currently has four transfer commitments on the defensive side of the ball with three of those commitments taking place earlier this week. That includes former Kennesaw State transfer cornerback Jayven Williams, former Old Dominion safety Jahron Manning, former N.C. State transfer defensive end Red Hibbler and former Northern Illinois transfer edge Nevaeh Sanders, who committed earlier on Friday.

The winter transfer portal window closes on December 28th and transfers can take official visits between now and December 22nd, which is the start of the dead period for visits.
